Mountain Equipment Co-Op Distribution Centre
Surrey, BC

The LEED(tm) Accredited MEC Distribution Centre has set a precedent for a healthier industrial landscape by striving to be efficient in terms of construction and maintenance, while taking a responsible approach to aesthetics and sustainable site design.

The site plan blends the functions of a working industrial environment into the site's natural context by preserving an adjacent woodlot. A storm water management plan carries precipitation from the building and to a series of vegetated swales and infiltration basins. Large drifts of native planting, grasses and seasonal meadows are planted in lieu of lawns to create a low-maintenance street edge that adds a sense of aesthetic interest.
